Anecdotal share here. I know very few hiring managers that expect candidates to fit 100%, heck 80% even, of a posting. Those that do aren’t ones I would ever want to work for.

I look for 3 things. And that’s not a hard and fast rule or anything. Aptitude, motivation and culture fit. I also look to my peers and larger team for their thoughts along these points.

People (pleasantly) surprise you. My last best hire (I moved to away from direct line management in my new gig) was working at their local Walmart for a year after a tough layoff from a pre sales role. I thought I would get more push back but everyone including my then boss, were like yeah! They just needs another opportunity.

And for what it’s worth, they were a great culture fit and figured the rest out along the way.

Good faith response here so pardon me if it’s a swoosh moment. One of my devices is a fairly recent Mac. And it has a headphone jack. Which I appreciate greatly.

What?? No nap time delivery blackout window? That’s the most un-Spanish thing ever!

I couldn’t afford to donate for a long time but I used it near daily. So now I do monthly, probably larger than average, contribution to make up for sibs from other cribs that can’t afford it. Pay it forward is indeed a golden rule.

Thought that was House MD rule number one. Everybody lies. Wait. That means IT lies! How deep does the rabbit hole go?

🤣🤣 I honestly did the same

Yeah that’s a sad and awesome sequence. But this is (IMHO) much much darker. Berserk.

O Griffith. What have you wrought! Guts!!

I don’t really see the point of being mean. Most humans want sex. Just move on to those that want it with you. It’s not a rejection. Just a mismatch.

You are in Sam Gold’s world. Eventually social media will be no different than not using credit cards, being part of a grid, census (intermittent camps were established based on census data, so I’m not hyperbolizing here), yada yada yada.

How to get out of it? Everyone who tries has their own gives and gets. Good luck to you, friend!

Oooh ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

How did you make that? Down the rabbit hole I go…

That customer is missing y’all.

Wow what a polite exchange on an often hot button topic!
